We gave in and TESTED early....

AND it said Pregnant! We tested 4 days early, I just could feel it so we gave in... Used Clear Blue Easy Digital test... it showed the hourglass while we waited.. Vickie was so nervous so we decided to walk away - just walking aimlessly in the house, not really sure where we were going - when we got back to the bathroom door she wouldn't go in... :) She peaked around the corner and said I don't think it's blinking anymore...

As we inched our way into the bathroom and as we stood over it, sure enought it said Pregnant.. we both started to cry then she insisted I sit down, drink some juice and rest.. LOL.. I wasn't allowed to lift anything the rest of the day.

We're excited but plan to take it easy and pretty much eliminate caffeine! I get a bit nervous when I read the statistics about miscarriages, and knowing that some friends in our chat have experienced that first hand!

I went in this morning for the first blood test today, will go back on Wednesday with results on Thursday! Baby Dust to everyone and we pray it stays intact! Thansk for all your wonderful positive thoughts!

Congratulations!! I think it is wonderful that you guys are so supportive of each other and that you are so tuned into your body. I'm starting Clomid tonight and just ordered my sperm from Cali. Cryo. I have to say that I am nervous about the whole process but I have a wonderfully supportive partner who is just as excited as I am. I read the Lesbian Guidebook as well and I thought it was the best book ever! Congrats again. I love that you created this blog space. It is nice to have a safe space to share this experience with like minded individuals.

Wow! Congratulations! This has to be the most exciting time of your lives.

My partner and I are new to this journey. We have our first doctor's appointment this Thursday with the fertility specialist. We are nervous and excited at the same time.

Thank you for taking the time to compose this blog. I'm sure it will become a valuable tool for us and I love to hear all of the success stories.

Again, congratulations to both of you!
